After the plate crystals were shattered, the metal threads curled up to form golden particles the size of soybeans. They were shining like gold and felt a little soft to the touch, but were very tough.

Although these golden particles are small, they are not light. Each one weighs about the same as a two-inch long embroidery needle.

This is why the dragon beard needle, although as thin as a hair, can be used as a hidden weapon.

“Buzz…”

Ye Liangchen directly used his soul power to compress and expand the golden particles, turning them into needles as thin as hair.

“Swish…”

Ye Liangchen waved his hand towards a tree trunk, and the thin needle sank directly into the bark. The thin needle lost the compression of soul power and quickly curled up into a ball, causing a small bag to bulge on the bark.

"As expected of a dragon beard needle, this is simply a perfect hidden weapon for sneaking up on the enemy."

In the original plot, Tang San told Xiao Wu that if she wanted to practice these hidden weapon techniques, she must destroy her own soul power before she could practice. Ye Liangchen thought it was complete nonsense.

"This guy clearly doesn't want to teach Xiao Wu, and he has to come up with a ridiculous excuse. For a cultivator, this method of launching hidden weapons is completely child's play."

Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen sneered, and directly shot the remaining hundreds of golden beads into the cracks in the rocks, then found a dry cave and prepared to spend the night.

At the same time, in the distant Holy Soul Village of Nottingham, in a shabby hut, a boy about 12 years old was swinging a hammer hard to forge iron.

There was also a girl next to him with two pink bunny ears on her head. She looked very cute. At this moment, the girl was looking at the boy quietly with a happy smile on her face.

“Dangdang…Dangdang…”

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of iron hammering ringing out.

These two people are Tang San and Xiao Wu. They have now graduated from the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy and will be heading to Shrek Academy soon.

"Xiao Wu, help me pull the bellows."

Thinking about the fact that he would soon create some extremely lethal hidden weapons, Tang San felt very happy, and he swung the hammer with more energy.

Suddenly, Tang San shuddered all over, and the hammer in his hand lost its grip and hit his toes directly.

“Ouch!”

Tang San covered his toes and rubbed them continuously.

"Xiao San, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Wu, who was pulling the bellows for Tang San, hurried over to check the injury on Tang San's foot.

"It's okay. I'm probably too tired. I just need to take a rest." Seeing Xiao Wu caring about him so much, Tang San smiled.

Tang San didn't know what was going on with him. A few months ago, he also shuddered while in class at school, and now that feeling came again.

"Brother, then you should have a good rest! Let's fight again tomorrow." Xiao Wu also thought that Tang San was tired, so she advised him to take a rest.

Over the past six years, Tang San has lived a smooth life under the guidance of his master. His spirit power has been raised to level 29, and he has obtained two best spirit rings, one from a 400-year-old mandragora snake and the other from a 600-year-old ghost vine. These rings have allowed him to stand out from the crowd and become the best student in Notting City Academy.

Xiao Wu's soul power is the same as Tang San's, and she has also become his sister, which makes his old and lonely heart begin to fluctuate.

…

The Kingdom of Barak is adjacent to the Province of Fasno and borders the Xing Luo Empire to the south, with only a border mountain range in between.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Ye Liangchen decided to go to the border mountains to look for some medicinal herbs and practice shooting.

The border mountains are hundreds of kilometers long, extending from the west of the Kingdom of Barak to the Province of Fasno, including the mountains behind the Holy Soul Village.

There are no soul beasts in the border mountains, so Ye Liangchen doesn't worry about any safety issues. He travels through the forest every day, eating all kinds of game and living a happy life.

I've been lying here for most of the time, wandering around in the mountains. I'm almost turning into a Bear Grylls version from another world.

On this morning, Ye Liangchen was roasting wild boar meat in a forest. Although there were no soul beasts in the mountains, there were still ordinary animals. This wild boar was just killed with the King of Chicken.

“Sizzle…”

At this moment, Ye Liangchen was roasting the wild boar meat until it was sizzling with oil, and then sprinkled some spices and salt water on it. The aroma was so fragrant that it made people's appetite grow.

"Catch her now."

“Crack…”

Suddenly, from a thousand meters away, a woman's delicate shouting was heard, as well as the sounds of chasing and fighting.

"Hmm! Who could it be?"

Ye Liangchen immediately took out the King of Assault HK416, turned on the safety, and kept alert to his surroundings.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

At this moment, a tall black woman appeared a few hundred meters ahead and ran quickly towards him.

This girl is very young and beautiful. She has two cat-ear-like headdresses on her head and a tail-like decoration on her back, which makes her look a little cute. Her big eyes reveal an anxious and frightened look, and her fair face has a hint of blush, which makes her look very beautiful, especially her tight leather jacket, which shows her hot body to the fullest.

The woman's dress made Ye Liangchen's eyes light up. It was obvious that she was a stunning beauty.

"Tight leather jacket and leather pants? With cat ears and a tail? And that hot body?"

"Could this be the little cat Zhu Zhuqing? Why is she here?"

"I guess this girl doesn't dare to go through the checkpoints between the two countries openly, so she can only cross the border mountains."

Seeing the woman's outfit through the scope, Ye Liangchen instantly thought of Zhu Zhuqing whom he met a few years ago.

So Ye Liangchen quickly put the gun into his game backpack, picked up the roasted wild boar meat, and ate it slowly, while looking at everything in the distance.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

About a minute later, Zhu Zhuqing rushed to ten meters in front of Ye Liangchen and stopped immediately.

Looking at Ye Liangchen's handsome face, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly recalled a memory in her heart, but she was afraid that this man was a bad guy, so she immediately activated her martial soul, and her two fingers turned into sharp claws, and she turned into a cat-eared girl, who looked fierce and very charming.

"Who are you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked cautiously.

"I just went into the mountains to collect herbs."

Ye Liangchen said calmly, then continued to eat the barbecue, pretending not to care about the other person.

"Someone is chasing me from behind. Leave here quickly, or you will be implicated."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to implicate an innocent boy because of her own affairs, especially since the boy was so handsome.

As expected of a kitten! She has a kind heart.

Ye Liangchen gave the other person a thumbs up in his heart. Among the Shrek Seven Devils, this girl had the most positive values.

"I haven't even finished eating the roasted wild boar meat! Besides, the enemy is chasing you, not me. What does it have to do with me?"

Ye Liangchen said this lightly and then continued to eat the delicious barbecue.

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment. She thought that the other party would come to the rescue after seeing her. She didn't expect that the other party didn't care about her at all. However, she also understood that the other party was not related to her and had no obligation to help her.

This guy was quite handsome, and the roasted meat was delicious, which aroused Zhu Zhuqing's appetite and she couldn't help swallowing.

"Kitty! You look hungry too, would you like a piece?"

Seeing the other party swallowing his saliva, Ye Liangchen took a piece of golden and crispy pork ribs, shook it in his hand, and even deliberately said the nickname "kitten".

"Didn't your parents tell you? You can't eat food from strangers when you are away from home."

Zhu Zhuqing grew up under the oppression of her sister, so she is naturally very vigilant.

"You just called me a kitten? You...you are...!"

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing heard the extremely handsome boy in front of her call her a little cat, and she immediately lost her composure.

In Zhu Zhuqing's memory, a 6-year-old boy named Ye Liangchen once called himself a little cat. The boy left a deep impression on her and she would never forget him. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that the boy in front of her was a bit similar to the boy a few years ago.

"You're dressed like the cat-eared girl, isn't that just a kitten?"

Ye Liangchen smiled faintly. He had been wandering in the mountains these days without wearing a mask. It seemed that his call of little cat had allowed the other party to recognize his identity.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was certain that this young man was the little boy from that year. She immediately rushed over, grabbed Ye Liangchen's hand, and prepared to run away together.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

At this moment, five masked men and a hot woman in black appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"My dear sister, where are you going?"

The woman in black asked Zhu Zhuqing calmly, and when she saw Ye Liangchen's extremely handsome face, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Zhu Qing, who is he?"

The woman in black looks somewhat similar to Zhu Zhuqing, and has an equally hot body. However, she is a little more mature than Zhu Zhuqing and is full of temptation.

"Zhu Zhuyun, this is none of his business. We should not involve innocent people in our affairs."

Zhu Zhuqing stood in front of Ye Liangchen. She didn't want to hurt this young man who had once saved her life because of her own affairs.

"Run as fast as you can. The farther you run, the better."

Zhu Zhuqing pushed Ye Liangchen and urged him to leave quickly.

"You said this beautiful woman was your sister. How could she kill you?"

Ye Liangchen stood still. He had a powerful weapon in his hand, and these people posed no threat to him.

"Little brother, although you are very handsome, I can't bear to kill you, but there are some things I can't help." Zhu Zhuyun smiled at Ye Liangchen, and with her hot body, she was very seductive.

"Get rid of that young man and take Zhu Qing away."

Zhu Zhuyun turned around and gave cold orders to the people around her. She was a very realistic person and the power struggle forced her to take ruthless actions.

"Yes! Princess."

Five men walked towards Ye Liangchen, laughing arrogantly.

“Hahahaha…! Boy, you’re just unlucky. If you see something, you’ll die.”

“Buzz…”

These five people have all activated their martial spirits at this moment, three of them are Soul Kings, and the other two are high-level Soul Masters.

"Don't come over here! I'll get mad if you come over again."

"I tell you, when I get angry, even I am afraid of myself!"

Ye Liangchen stepped on the Five Elements Mysterious Steps and retreated quickly, pretending to be very scared.

“Hehehe…! Boy, why don’t you stand up and show us how powerful you are?”

Several killers looked at Ye Liangchen's terrified expression, with mocking eyes and laughing unscrupulously.

"Zhu Zhuyun, don't hurt him. I'll go with you."

When Zhu Zhuqing saw the five killers preparing to attack Ye Liangchen, she immediately possessed her martial spirit and ran over to help.

"My dear sister, it seems that you have a complicated relationship with this handsome boy."

"But as a member of the Xingluo Zhu family, you should know that your actions will bring disaster to the Zhu family."

"Laifu, kill that boy."

Zhu Zhuyun was possessed by her martial spirit and stood in front of her sister, giving cold orders to the killers. Although she did not want to attack her sister, the cruel power struggle left her with no choice.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

"Zhu Zhuyun, stop slandering me. He and I just met by chance. There's nothing wrong with that."

Zhu Zhuqing directly fought with her sister, but the gap in strength was too big and she was no match at all. Zhu Zhuyun had been teasing her like a cat playing with a mouse.

"My dear sister, you can't beat me, come back with me quickly." Zhu Zhuyun easily resolved her sister's attack while persuading her.

"Zhu Zhuyun, even if I die outside, I will never go back with you." Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.

"If you come over here again, I'll fight back."

While Ye Liangchen was dealing with those people with mysterious footwork, he glanced at the fight between the two sisters in the distance.

“Hehehe…! Boy, quickly hand over your footwork training method, maybe we can let you die more painlessly.”

Several killers felt that Ye Liangchen's footwork was a bit strange, and he was always able to cleverly dodge their pursuit.

"Stop first and I'll tell you."

"Hehehe...! Hurry up, kid."

As soon as Ye Liangchen said this, the five people on the other side looked at each other and laughed.

"I'll be right there."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen suddenly took out the Glock 21 and shot at the five killers.

“Puff…puff…puff.”

Glock 21s are equipped with silencers, so the sound is very small. Several killers were hit before they could react. The whole process only took a few seconds.

“Ahhh…! Boy, you have no martial ethics.”

The five killers who were chasing Ye Liangchen fell straight to the ground and died.

"I told you, I'm scary when I get angry."

After killing the five killers, Ye Liangchen put his gun back into his gaming backpack before Zhu Zhuqing and her sister could react, then quickly took out the Blue Smoke Sword and pretended to dance.

Originally, Ye Liangchen planned to solve the problem with force, but when he saw that the other party had a Soul King, he knew that his martial soul would be exposed if a fight broke out, so he immediately solved the problem with a gun. This was quick and efficient, and he could still maintain his mystery.

Ye Liangchen didn't know why, but these weapons and equipment were more powerful in the world of Douluo. The range of Glock 21 reached 100 meters, and as for HK416, it was over 1,000 meters. Even more terrifying was the Barrett MK22. Once, during practice, Ye Liangchen directly smashed a tree trunk as thick as a bowl 2.5 kilometers away, which was almost like a cannonball.

At such a close distance, these Soul Kings could not withstand the lethality of the Glock 21 and were killed instantly.

The sudden screams also attracted Zhu Zhuyun's attention. The next moment, seeing that all his men were dead, he was so frightened that he turned pale and fell directly to the ground, begging for mercy in fear while backing away.

“Ahhh…! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”

Zhu Zhuqing wiped her eyes and looked at the five killers lying straight on the ground. She felt like she was dreaming. She immediately ran to Ye Liangchen and said in disbelief.

"You…you got rid of them? How did you do it?"

Ye Liangchen spread his hands and said, "They want to attack me, what can I do? As for how I killed them, I will keep it secret for now."

"Hey! Little kitty, what are you going to do with your sister?" Ye Liangchen asked Zhu Zhuqing.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me." Zhu Zhuyun screamed in horror.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhu Zhuyun, who was terrified in the distance, and shook her head: "Let her go!"

"Zhu Zhuyun, go back and be your Crown Princess! From now on, we will go our separate ways."

When Zhu Zhuqing saw Ye Liangchen's mysterious methods, she made an important decision in her heart, but she did not show it immediately, but kept it in her heart.

"Thank you, sister."

When Zhu Zhuyun saw that his sister let him go, he immediately ran deep into the mountains.

"Who is that young man? He was able to kill several men sent by Davis in an instant, including Lai Fu and his men who are powerful Soul Kings! How did he do it?"

"When did such a monster appear in the Tiandou Empire? Judging from the appearance of that young man, he is about the same age as Zhu Qing. It's so scary."

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuyun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and her whole body was covered in sweat. She immediately quickened her pace and ran quickly towards Xingluo Country.
